emma woke up in sidney's muscular arms. her surprise for him was her in nothing but his jersey. she had also framed a jersey from the first ever game that the pittsburgh penguins played. the jersey was light blue with the number one on the sleeves and the back. emma was surprised when he felt the need to hang it up immediately. even when she was standing there, basically naked. she didn't mind though, she had been searching for that jersey for almost two weeks.
she got out of the warm bed and walked into her bathroom, starting the shower and grabbing two towels, just in case sidney decided to join her. she stepped into the water stream and sighed, letting the liquid to run down her tan body.
emma heard the door creak open and smiled.
"em?"
"yeah?" she poked her head out of the shower, seeing sidney rub his eyes, "wanna join me?"
"of course." he smiled, stepping into the shower and putting his arms over her shoulders.
emma pecked his lips, "sleep well?"
"mhm." he mumbled, kissing her again, "thank you for everything."
"anything for you, sid." emma whispered against his lips.
emma washed her hair as sidney rubbed soap on his body. emma didn't use body wash that was directed for women. she didn't like that they always smelled like flowers, she preferred the strong smell of men's soap, it seemed to last longer than feminine marketed soap.
sidney quickly washed his short hair and got out of the shower, grabbing a towel and putting it around his waist. he knew how annoying it was for emma to detangle her hair and it would only be worse with an audience.
"how about smoothie bowls for breakfast?" he asked and she grinned.
"sounds great." she kissed him quickly before focusing back on her hair.
once she finished showering, she dried off and brushed her knots out. she walked out of the bathroom and into her closet, putting on a bralette and black shorts. emma found her way to sidney's closet and stole a large black shirt.
she jogged down the stairs and found sidney in the kitchen, pouring a homemade berry smoothie into two bowls. he had already cut up a bunch of fruit that he placed on top of the purple smoothie.
emma put her arms around his waist and laid her head on his warm back. he had neglected to put on a shirt and emma loved it. sidney put one of his hands on hers as he put granola into the bowls.
she let go of him and he handed her one of the bowls, "so i've been wondering, do you ever think about cutting your hair?"
"all of the time. it's just harder to braid when it's short." she shrugged, "but maybe i will."
"you'd look beautiful." sidney kissed her forehead and they walked to the living room. they sat down and emma crossed her legs, turning on the tv and changing it to the nhl network. a couple of men were at a table, talking about sidney's achievements throughout the years.
sidney took the remote from her hand, "let's watch some morning news instead."
